The Wild Book: Outdoor Activities to Unleash Your Inner Child

Let the Adventure Begin! In the spirit of The Dangerous Book for Boys these are great—unplugged!–ideas for everyone.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, stressed-out, and maybe even a little beaten down by the everyday grind? You need to go a little bit wild! Remember what it was like to be a kid, or have the awesome outdoor adventures you never quite got to experience with the delightful activities in the aptly named Wild Book.

No matter where you live, or how old you may be, it’s never too late to have an adventurous childhood. This book was created to get you out of doors and into nature, with dozens of activities to try, from treasure hunts to woodcrafts to folk dances and outdoor cooking.

Fully illustrated with helpful and whimsical drawings that make it easy to weave that floral crown, prank passersby with mysterious crop circles, or play a game of ultimate Frisbee.
